If You Could See Her (The Gorilla Song)

[EMCEE]
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view

If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall like I did
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone

How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin like I do
Yet when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand

[They waltz.]

I understand your objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She isn't a meeskite at all
